Dripping with sarcasm or truly thankful? Personally, compiling the kernel for an i586 vs. an i686 would benefit many users and don't see why it's not being considered.
Yeah HTMLSpinnr, you are right on this! I think without implementing i586 support they kick out a lot of home license users. But maybe thats the whole plan!?

Well.. looks like this exludes me as well. (My firewall is a K6-2)
As a student, I can not justify buying another computer just for firewalling and pptp access to my home network. I was in doubt as to whether or not I could afford dedicating the K6-2 to ASL, but decided it was worth it to have a great firewall that "auto-updated" itself.
Anyway.. I would like to thank Astaro, and the rest of you for a great time. I will probably still drop by once a while to see what's going on, and one day I may return, either as a home user or as a commercial customer (or both [;)] ).
In the meantime I will have to decide on what to do next, switching to Smoothwall (or other distro), keeping ASL3.2 or plain Debian+webmin, etc..
First of all hello to you all especially Jim M., I've done some work on ASL/snort/mysql i currently have a p166 with 256mb and it perfectly suits my needs, but with this version of asl, I wondered what was all of my effort for, my effort and many others.... I don't know what to say, but one thing I'll say: THIS IS FOR ASTARO ADMINS: AND I'M SHOUTING... SO YOU CAN EAR IT WELL: I WAS THINKING OF BECOMING AN ASL RESELLER HERE IN PORTUGAL I HAVE 32 COSTUMERS INTERESTED EVEN IF OUT OF THOSE 32, ONLY 20 BUY ASTARO WHICH WAS MY PROJECTION IN THE WORST CASE SCENARIO; THEY MIGHT BE PLEASED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ATRACT MORE COSTUMERS, AND SINCE I HAVEN'T TALKED TO ALL OF MY COSTUMERS WHO HAVE SOFTWARE FIREwALLS THIS NUMBER COULD INCREASE.
CONCLUSION: WITH ME YOU LOST A GREAT DEAL IN LEATING THE ONES WHO CAN'T HAVE A GREAT PC DEDICATED TO A FIREWALL OUT, BECAUSE IF YOU CAN DO THE JOB WITH A P200 WHY DO IT WITH A PII OR A PIII; AND YOU LOST COSTUMERS....
to Overnet: in my opinion my AMD K6-2 400 was fast enough... the average CPU-utilization was 15% - so why should I waste my money for newer and faster hardware (and for a higher power consumption)?
And by the way: is my Pentium II-400 that I use now and which _IS_ supported faster???

I still couldnt figure wether it is Astaro which did not implement old PI/K6 support or if it is a general kernel/middleware issue!?
I wouldnt have a clue....can anyone help me! Cause this would be very helpful who to blame! [;)]
In the case it is a kernel problem.....Hey guys there must be some Pro's out to solve a small problem like this!? Am I right? So please get into gear and help us poor old hardware users!
I've just installed the ASL 4.0 ISO from the Astaro ftp site on a Cyrix P266 PC. It installed fine - perhaps Pentium's are still supported in the ASL v4 code ?

HMMM Maybe it will work on my epia 800mhz.... It is a cyrix based processor. The last beta did not work, but perhaps this will. I think I will Download it and see. [:S]
I've just tried to install asl 4.0 on my P166 and it install ok, but it doesn't startup... failed to remount old initrd... same as betas next I installed smoothwall... so see ya astaro it was nice to work with you, and smoothwall also has comercial products which is great.....
No, zaga, NO. Don't go to the dark side! If you do, can you send me what you've got for that shell script for snort? I think perhaps I'll use my old P166 as a snort-inline bridge. We'll see.
it installed fine, but it wouldn't boot. It hangs on freeing unsed memory 76k..... This is not cool. I guess it is time to move on, it wouldn't appear that Astaro will support EPIA platforms w/ C3 processors. [:(]
